Dennis Northcutt is very "excited" about having been traded from the Jaguars to the Lions. "I'm excited," Northcutt told the Detroit Free Press. "I feel like the Lions went out and won the Super Bowl last year, for real. I'm just excited about playing this game for a team that wants me and came out and got me." Detroit is expected to play Northcutt in the slot between Calvin Johnson and Bryant Johnson. "I think that's one of the biggest reasons they brought me in was to get in the slot," Northcutt said. "Obviously that's my biggest strength. That's has been my biggest strength through my nine years of playing in the NFL is working the slot. That's where I've made my money basically. But I have been able to play outside."
